[Done] Check if an Enity exists in Control

Hi,

How can I check if an entity exists in Control?
So in Data.lau I can use

Code: Select all

if data.raw.tree["xxx"] then

I'm setting the following:

Code: Select all

local sage_1_tree_name = "bio-"..tree_name.."-1"

But how can I check if "bio-"..tree_name.."-1" actually exists?

Thanks
